Quakies

I hate to judge, but some of the food my friends feed their dogs is practically unthinkable. Most pet owners know that table scraps are only acceptable in strict moderation, and that too much human food can cause severe digestive problems. But what about those mainstream, brand-name dog foods? Could it be that they are just as harmful in their own way? According to my veterinarian, the answer is yes.

Commercial dog foods often contain sky-high levels of sodium and preservatives, which can be detrimental to a canine’s health. Worse yet, mainstream dog food is not necessarily free of pesticides. Organic dog food, on the other hand, is guaranteed to be all-natural and bereft of harmful chemicals. The whole grains used to create the food come from reliable sources, and pesticides don’t come into contact with the food at any point.
